Import Tips

Verify yarn count, weave type, and weight via lab testing to confirm printcloth (615) classification; mismeasurement leads to reclassification

Provide mill certificates showing 85%+ acrylic staple fibers and no multiple/cabled yarns for customs compliance

Label rolls with fiber content, width (<168 cm for some types), and construction details to avoid delays
